Lucasfilm’s super secret Project Luminous is finally come to fruition. Because it’s Star Wars: The High Republic. Let’s take a gander, shall we?
“We’re finding ourselves in a very exciting moment, with the Skywalker Saga coming to an end.”
You mean the ending that sucked ass and lands with the emotional weight of a wet fart?
They’re bringing in “great talent” and letting “their imaginations run free”. A lot of this talent has differing opinions about Star Wars. This doesn’t bode well, as far as I’m concerned.
Oh.
Okay, let’s take a close look at my favorites on this board:
- Droids (because that needs to be on the board so we don’t forget)
- The Force (See: Droids)
- Actual Ending (Even they know Ep IX had a shit ending)
- Feelings (i.e. those things competent writers know how to instill in an audience)
- Relatable characters (Oh boy, an uphill battle!)
- Space & Lightsaber battles (but not too many, because…)
- Not Pro-War (what is this, the fucking Universal Century?! It’s Star Wars!)
- Diversity (I’m sure aliens don’t count. Fuck those filthy xenos, amiright?)
- Representation/Diversity (again, because we really hate aliens)
- Dinosaurs!
Oh, fuck it. I’m out. I trust these people with this about as much as I trust Square Enix with porting their own classics.
But who knows? Maybe they’ll surprise me! I doubt it, but maybe. Anything’s possible.
Well, I have to steel myself for the incoming episode of Picard. Enjoy the Texas Ranger Jedi and dinosaurs.
